Whether we are rich or poor, old or young, we all need some form of plan for our estate to preserve our wealth, protect what we have worked very hard to obtain, make things as easy as possible for our loved ones we leave behind and provide peace of mind that our wishes will be followed should we become incapacitated or deceased.

As an experienced San Diego Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts Lawyer, I will handle your estate planning, probate, conservatorship, trust administration or related matter with expertise, confidentiality, compassion and skill, including:

• Living Trusts
• Trust Administration
• Probate
• Wills
• Powers of Attorney
• Healthcare Directives
• Conservatorships
• Guardianships
• Estate Tax Returns 
• Private Annuities and Charitable Trusts 

My Firm is founded on a strong commitment to professional ethics, and we pride ourselves in offering practical, innovative and affordable solutions to clients.

When determining what the plan should consist of, the primary documents considered are Wills, Living Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney for financial matters and Healthcare Directives. Each of these documents has a particular purpose which may be appropriate depending upon a client’s need and circumstances. The typical “Estate Plan” will include a Living Trust, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Healthcare Directives and Pour Over Wills.

I will make sure that all of the documents prepared are explained to you in plain language and that your estate plan accurately reflects your wishes and desires in all respects. My fees are very competitive and almost all of our new business comes from “word of mouth” referrals.

Thorough and competent estate planning will help ensure optimum financial benefit to your family, present and future. It is my goal to fulfill clients’ needs by guiding them through the process of protecting their wealth, ensuring that they are prepared in the event of incapacity and guaranteeing that their estate is handled according to their wishes and goals.
